Danger Zone--so applicable these dayze... The Danger Zone written and performed by Percy Mayfield; later by other more popular singers like Ray Charles and Ann Wilson. This song is so relevant right now... It was Ann Wilson's live performance of the song that brought it to my attention--she sings the HELL out of it!
You go, Ann!
Percy Mayfield's original version:
"The Danger Zone" Sad and lonely all the time
That's because I've got a worried mind You know the world is in an uproar The danger zone is everywhere, everywhere Just read your paper And you'll see Just exactly what keeps worryin' me Yeah, you'll see the world is in an uproar The danger zone is everywhere My love for the world is like always For the world is a part of me That's why I'm so afraid Of the progress that's being made Toward eternity Every morning, noon, and night Finds me hoping that everything's alright Mm-hmm, the world is in an uproar The danger zone is everywhere
. A better voice for the song than Percy's in my opinion was Ray Charles:
But, in the end, it was Ann Wilson's soulful rendition live that moved me the most... And this week, the song seems all too relevant... [Edited 10/4/17 22:05pm] "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato
